Rival banks try to feast on TD Bank's computer woes

Some rival banks in southern New Jersey are using computer problems at TD Bank as a marketing tool to seek more customers, according to a report in The Courier-Post.

Since Sept. 27, Toronto-based TD has been flooded with complaints after computer problems cropped up while converting systems of Commerce Bancorp, which TD acquired last year. Citizens Bank is extending a $100 offer to open an account, while Beneficial Bank increased staffing at its branches by 30 percent during the weekend.
